as a christian girl, can i get marry with non christ?should my children be christian too?

Answer 1

im nondenominational, my husband is catholic, and according to society, we shouldnt be married...........but my husband and i have agreed that when and if we have children, we will take them to both my service and his mass, and when they are old enough, they can choose whatever religion they want to be, even if it isnt one of ours..u cant force ur children to be somethin they dont wanna be. and when they're young, they're too young to know

Answer 2

Only you can decide. Some people set their own standard. For instance as a Christian I want to marry a Christian girl. If I found a lovely girl that is a non-believer and really in love, then she would need to give her life to God and become a Christian - otherwise... I can't marry a non-believer and not knowing that she'll go to heaven and continue life up there.

I know of a family friend. The father and two kids are devout Christians but the mother, a buddhist never attended church.

Answer 3

It can be a source of many problems, (not all of them without solutions mind you).
Most non-believers would not understand this, as they tend not to value any commitment to something permanent and larger than themselves. There will be situations and topics that crop up in marriage, like abortion, or whether to raise the kids in your religion or mine or none, etc. that can be the end of a relationship.
A "non-Christian", could be a follower or a different religion, or a non-believer, and each case has it's issues.
You will have to decide if your affections and desire for your man are important to you than your allegiance to Christ through Christianity. Because there will come a time when you will have to choose, later probably over an important issue, unless he has no interest in morals or values, and then why do you want him?
Don't try to change him or convert him, just so you can have both worlds, it would be unfair.

Answer 4

Now that is a very sensitive subject you've brought up. It is written in the Bible that we should not fool ourselves. Bad company corrupts good character. we should not yoke ourselves with none believers. yet paul also said that the unbelieving husband is purifie by the believing wife. Preach to your husband to be. Usually we are told not to yoke with such people because we end up bowing to their demands (sex before marriage, drugs) if you know what I mean. But not all unbelievers are that bad. some are just not saved. As for your children, yes! they need to be christians too. you cannot however force that on them. they decide on their own. you just have to pray for them and hope God will work out things for you. The Bible says that 'bring up a child in the way of the Lord, when they grow up, they will never depart from it' so, you have that chance. you can start when they are still young, and when they are of age, they will not let you down. remember, the kids issue is one you have to handle with PRAYER.
pray about the marriage issue. I beleive that God will guide you. if the person is meant for you, he surely will marry you and God will change him. I've made a prayer for you and hope that all will go well. God bless you.

Answer 5

Last time I checked as long as the person is human and of legal age of consent you can marry them!
Would it truly make any difference as an Italian American with very strong family ties if I decided to marry an African American woman. I don't see why your religion can guide your heart. If you truly beleive this to be true what kind of "christian" are you? Before all else you are human and without any prejudice I can say as a human you need to brodan your prospective on life, love, and religion just beause other humans make the decision like yourself to beleive in a lifestyle that is dominated by their own perspectives of a higher being does not mean they are not good or rightious people. It is this very way of thinking that has started and continued wars for centuries. Why can't people just agree that we are HUMAN and the religions are beliefs to held privately in our minds. reaper out..........

Answer 6

This really depends on your religious beliefs and that of your husbands. For instance, if religion plays a MAJOR part in your life then you might want to consider marrying someone who is similar to you in religious faith. You should also consider what denomination of Christian, because there are many with sometimes conflicting views. On the other hand, however, if religion isn't that major to you and you would be ok not being married to someone similarly religious, then by all means, go right ahead. The same is true for your future husband, he'll need to consider how major a roll religion plays in his life and if he could be happy married to someone who is not of a similar religious faith. This should all be discussed BEFORE you decide to tie the knot.

As for any future children you may have, I am a VERY STRONG believer in children picking their own religious road when they are able. I think that there is no one right path to God, that many paths (Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, Pagan, etc.) are all equally valid. I firmly believe that it is the duty of the parents to instill moral values into their children, expose them to their own religious faith if they wish, but not force them to become any one religion. If the child, who grows up with strict Catholic parents (for instance) decides they cannot find God through Catholicism but find a concept of it instead through Pagan full-moon celebrations, then I say Amen! to that. The important thing is finding it, not how you go about it. I refused to attend my nephews confirmation because of this issue. A year-old baby doesn't know enough about anything to know that they want to be confirmed a Catholic.

Answer 7

Here is a quote to remember from the Bible.

1 Corinthians 7:10-16
10 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. 11 But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife. 12 To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. 15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace. 16 How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

People say don't be unequally yoked that is true and missionary dating but I say if you have the courage to do so then by all means do so but there is the challenge if you can stay with him. Hope that helps.

Answer 8

Do you even know what a christian is? It seems you dont take your relationship with christ seriously and want a man thats not christian! Their many christian woman like you who serve god but fall short even shorter because you cant resist tempation.. Grow up! I dont think your a christian woman but a backslider. What you need to do first is REPENT! God has the best for you and what your telling god is you want garbage!

Answer 9

You can get married to whomever you want, and teach your children whatever you want.
But Why?
There are billions of Christians out there,
why marry a non-Christian?

Answer 10

If you find a man who your are truley in love with then from what i belive yes you can. Its foolish not to marry someone you love simply because they belive diffrent than you. Thats like sayin you wouldnt marry someone because the a Dem. and your a Rep. and vicversa. As far as the kids discuss it with who ever you marry. If he has no objections take them to church until the get old enough to make the decision for themselves. Offer them a way of life and something to belive in but allow them do decide what to belive in.

Answer 11
